Details are still under wraps, but we hear the pair will hold a press conference this month at Red Rooster.

“They’re said to be making an announcement on May 20,” said a source close to both parties. “Details are still being worked out, but they’ll organize a series of events in Harlem for 2015.”

Supporters are expected to include heavy hitters such as Bill Clinton.
